Exodus 6

Studie

   

1 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen : Nunc videbis quæ facturus sim Pharaoni : per manum enim fortem dimittet eos, et in manu robusta ejiciet illos de terra sua.

2 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens : Ego Dominus

3 qui apparui Abraham, Isaac et Jacob in Deo omnipotente : et nomen meum Adonai non indicavi eis.

4 Pepigique fœdus cum eis, ut darem eis terram Chanaan, terram peregrinationis eorum, in qua fuerunt advenæ.

5 Ego audivi gemitum filiorum Israël, quo Ægyptii oppresserunt eos : et recordatus sum pacti mei.

6 Ideo dic filiis Israël : Ego Dominus qui educam vos de ergastulo Ægyptiorum, et eruam de servitute, ac redimam in brachio excelso et judiciis magnis.

7 Et assumam vos mihi in populum, et ero vester Deus : et scietis quod ego sum Dominus Deus vester qui eduxerim vos de ergastulo Ægyptiorum,

8 et induxerim in terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut darem eam Abraham, Isaac et Jacob : daboque illam vobis possidendam. Ego Dominus.

9 Narravit ergo Moyses omnia filiis Israël : qui non acquieverunt ei propter angustiam spiritus, et opus durissimum.

10 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

11 Ingredere, et loquere ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti, ut dimittat filios Israël de terra sua.

12 Respondit Moyses coram Domino : Ecce filii Israël non audiunt me : et quomodo audiet Pharao, præsertim cum incircumcisus sim labiis ?

13 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, et dedit mandatum ad filios Israël, et ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti ut educerent filios Israël de terra Ægypti.

14 Isti sunt principes domorum per familias suas. Filii Ruben primogeniti Israëlis : Henoch et Phallu, Hesron et Charmi :

15 hæ cognationes Ruben. Filii Simeon : Jamuel, et Jamin, et Ahod, et Jachin, et Soar, et Saul filius Chananitidis : hæ progenies Simeon.

16 Et hæc nomina filiorum Levi per cognationes suas : Gerson, et Caath, et Merari. Anni autem vitæ Levi fuerunt centum triginta septem.

17 Filii Gerson : Lobni et Semei, per cognationes suas.

18 Filii Caath : Amram, et Isaar, et Hebron, et Oziel ; anni quoque vitæ Caath, centum triginta tres.

19 Filii Merari : Moholi et Musi : hæ cognationes Levi per familias suas.

20 Accepit autem Amram uxorem Jochabed patruelem suam : quæ peperit ei Aaron et Moysen. Fueruntque anni vitæ Amram, centum triginta septem.

21 Filii quoque Isaar : Core, et Nepheg, et Zechri.

22 Filii quoque Oziel : Misaël, et Elisaphan, et Sethri.

23 Accepit autem Aaron uxorem Elisabeth filiam Aminadab, sororem Nahason, quæ peperit ei Nadab, et Abiu, et Eleazar, et Ithamar.

24 Filii quoque Core : Aser, et Elcana, et Abiasaph : hæ sunt cognationes Coritarum.

25 At vero Eleazar filius Aaron accepit uxorem de filiabus Phutiel : quæ peperit ei Phinees. Hi sunt principes familiarum Leviticarum per cognationes suas.

26 Iste est Aaron et Moyses, quibus præcepit Dominus ut educerent filios Israël de terra Ægypti per turmas suas.

27 Hi sunt, qui loquuntur ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti, ut educant filios Israël de Ægypto : iste est Moyses et Aaron,

28 in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, in terra Ægypti.

29 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens : Ego Dominus : loquere ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti, omnia quæ ego loquor tibi.

30 Et ait Moyses coram Domino : En incircumcisus labiis sum, quomodo audiet me Pharao ?

Wife

  

The Hebrew of the Old Testament has six different common words which are generally translated as "wife," which largely overlap but have different nuances. Swedenborg uses two different Latin words, which largely overlap but have different nuances. Meanwhile, "wife" is often paired with "man" or "husband," which are also catch-all translations for a basket of Hebrew and Latin terms. So it's hard to pin down one universal meaning for "wife"; context and subject matter have a large effect.

In general, though, marriage in the Bible represents the union we all seek between our hearts and our minds. If we know what is right and pursue it faithfully, the Lord will ultimately help us love doing what is good, and the two aspects of ourselves will be unified. On a higher level, marriage represents the union we can have with the Lord, both individually and collectively as a church. As an intrinsic part of the marriage, the wife plays a key role in that meaning. But that meaning is different depending on what is being described.

If the marriage is describing a person who is spiritual in nature – "spiritual" being the second degree of heavenly life, in which people are led by intellect and knowledge with the desire for good following – the wife represents the desire for good, the affections that drive the person. If the marriage is describing someone who is celestial in nature – "celestial" being the highest degree of heavenly life, in which people are led from love, with the intellect and ideas following – the wife represents the true ideas held by the person or church. If the marriage is describing the union between the Lord and the church, the wife represents the church.

In a way, these are symbolic meanings that actually have little to do with gender. When "wife" describes a church, obviously that church can include both male and female people. When "wife" describes an aspect of a person, that person can obviously be either male or female.
